Welcome to the list!

Welcome to the AlbinVega email list!

Since the list just started today, April 28, we can expect that it
will start out a little slowly, but hopefully as we grow larger, the
list will be more valuable when there are more Vega owners and
sailors
sharing their expertise.

This message is just to keep you informed of where we are right now.
Earlier today I set up this list on eGroups (simply because I could
not find a Vega list anywhere else but had experienced the value of
such a list with a previous sailboat). I sent a message about this
site to the about 50 email addresses on the U.S. Vega Association
website. I also sent a note to the Asociation of Great Britain asking
them to distribute information to their members, and wrote a letter
to
Sidney Rosen that I hope he posts in the next newsletter to help get
the word out.

I mention this now only to let you know that as of this moment, hours
after starting the list, we have currently 13 members, but hopefully
many more from the web site list will join us soon, and then the word
should gradually spread. So hang in there if you post a question but
don't get a flood of help right away -- post it again in a week or
two
while we grow!

In the meantime, anyone cruising downeast Maine this summer can feel
free to contact me if you need a mooring spot, local waters advice,
or
a warm shower on land!
